Can't wait to see where he's at.

 

[Spinorama2]

interesting to see how he has progressed

 

[Plekanecs]

im surprised pateryn is recalled before tinordi.. but at the same time, i'm pretty excited to see him up with the main club!

 

[Ezpz]

Wat. Must be a Thomas case where we're showcasing him.

 

[CH25]

Why not Tinordi....

 

[JayKing]

What's his contract situation like? Could it be his last big league look with the Habs?

 

[Richiebottles]

Ummmmm.

Why ?

 

[Oleg Petrov]

Is Tinordi that far down on the depth chart?
If this is the case, that Pateryn has surpassed him, then I think his waiver status next season will all but assure his departure from Montreal at the deadline, the draft or on waivers next season. Too bad.

Complaining incoming

[That Habs Fan]

Ummmmm.

Why ?

Gonchar out for a bit?

 

[Richiebottles]

I am sick of this club not giving Tinner a chance.

 

[JLP]

Gonchar injury is?

Good luck Greg hope he can impress this time. Big guy big shot.

 

[vokiel]

Are they keeping him with the big club up to the deadline is what I'm interested in knowing.

 

[Vern]

look at our schedule this month compared to say tampas and its clear were going to see a lot of call ups, while still staying on top

we are in a best case scenario situation where we can rest some of our aged vets and test out/showcase our prospects just before the deadline

 

[Richiebottles]

Gonchar out for a bit?

Can't Weaver fill in ?

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...Pateryn's a RHD, makes some sense...

 

[TroyM]

Tinordi questions - guys. It's very simple. The Habs and the NHL in general is moving towards playing guys on their proper sides on D with the speed of the game going up more and more.

Tinordi = Lefty
Pateryn = Righty.

Gonchar was able to do it as he's lets just say a biiiit more savvy than these kids with NO nhl experience. Tinordi would get chewed up on the right side, that'd be terrible

Pateryn is our best RD prospect for now, Dietz I think is improving but Pateryn definitely is more ready for a call up and this is a huge test for him to show what he can do and if he can stick. He seemed to stagnate if not regress a bit since last year so really hoping this is a boost for him and he can surprise.

 

[Spinorama2]

no guarantee that Pateryn actually gets any action against the Wings

Weaver may dress and Pateryn is the 7th. Would maybe explain why no Tinordi

 

[SakuSauce]

What's his contract situation like? Could it be his last big league look with the Habs?

He's signed to a one-way deal for next season. So probably not his last look. How many NHL games have he played? Not much if I remember correctly.

 

[TroyM]

Can't Weaver fill in ?

I just think we are more set on the left, Weaver (nor Tinordi) is not supplanting Markov, Beaulieu, or Emelin. Pateryn on the other hand could supplant Weaver and I bet they see this as a chance to give him another shot and see what they have in him since he's put the time in. Will be interesting to see how they handle Weaver/Pateryn though. Also no need to call up Tinordi to be a 7th D if that is the plan. He needs to play as much as possible.

 

[AntonCH]

Pateryn is the insurance policy in case of flu or flu-like symptoms

 

[Sterling Archer]

Doubt he'll even play. Figure Gilbert will be back in the line up with Weaver.

 

[habdynasty]

Gonchar out for a bit?

ummmm yes

 

[Wats]

Hopefully they show case him like they are with Thomas. He could be a nice trade chip.
